Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Congregationalism While the first lines of Historical Congregationalism date from recent centuries, we claim that its principles are as old as Chris tianity; nay, more, that it is the ancient Theocracy. With a divinely modified administration. As Congregationalists, we believe, not only in the supreme authority of God's Word, but also in its completeness as a divine revelation and find in it our only rule of faith, and also the constitution and laws of the Church of Christ, which in our view becomes' a church of churches. It was only by a study of the Sacred Word, that saintly and learned men, in various places and at different times, learned those principles which good seed, planted by the Holy Spirit in human hearts, has raised up a noble army of confessors, heroes and martyrs, and has girdled the world with their churches.

Persecution, as usual, ex cited rather than extinguished the spirit of dissent, and about the year 1580 - 81 it was blown into a ﬂame by the fiery zeal of one who ultimately he came the most notorious, though by no means the most consistent advocate of Congregational prin ciples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Congregationalism: From About A. D. 250 to 1616 This volume contains the history of Congregationalism from about A. D. 250 to 1616. Much of it, consequently, is occupied with the history of the principles and doctrines now embraced by the denomination, rather than by the his tory of Congregationalists themselves. Though as a de nomination, we had no distinctive, organized existence um til near the close of the sixteenth century yet, inasmuch as some of our denominational peculiarities have always found advocates and friends, since the days of the apostles, - a very imperfect notion could be formed of our history, if these facts were entirely overlooked. But, in order to bring them out, it has been necessary to travel over a very extensive field of observation, and to introduce more of gen eral history than, at first thought, may seem strictly proper in a denominational work. The sources whence this history has been drawn, will sufficiently appear by reference to the margin. Original authorities have been appealed to whenever they have been within my reach and when they have not, the defect has been, in part at least, supplied, by comparing several second-hand authorities, and when it was possible, men of different views and habits of thought.

D. 250 to the Present Time, Vol. 1: In Continuation of the Account of the Origin and Earliest History of This System of Church Polity Contained in "a View of Congregationalism" Between the order of Christ's house and that of Antichrist's, there is a heaven-wide difference; in deed, there is no resemblance whatever. And the inquiry may very naturally arise: How could a change so entire be wrought in the polity of the churches? Some have urged this question as a capital objection to the belief that Congregational ism was, for substance, the apostolical system of church government. If it was, say they, how could so great a change have been made? And why were not these encroachments protested against and resisted? I expect to show, in the body of this work, that these encroachments were protested against, and resisted even unto blood. In this Introduction, I propose to speak very brieﬂy of the manner in which this change in the polity Of the churches was introduced. I am disposed to undertake this, from the conviction that this survey will forcibly illus trate the importance of holding fast the great principles of apostolic church order, while it will prepare the reader for the historical details which may follow in the sequel. It has already been intimated, that the pride and ambition of the clergy and the carelessness of the people were the main springs in the machinery which overturned the apostolic order and discipline of the christian churches.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hand-Book of Congregationalism For two reasons, mainly, I have written this little Hami Booé. One, that, in nearly thirty years of connection with a Congregational newspaper, through contact with hundreds of committees, and the reading of thousands of letters, I have found that a popular and as I judge growing need and demand exist for some cheap and compact manual, adapted both to easy circulation and comprehension; and which may especially Offer to an unaccustomed population some brief yet clear idea of our Congregational ways, with the reason that underlies them. The other, that since publishing fifteen years ago a treatise which, in spite Of its disadvantages Of size and cost, has gained gratifying circulation now through five editions, I have learned much Of which I was ignorant when it was written, and so am naturally anxious to revise its unconscious inaccuracies, by bringing, in another form, my statements into better accord with what I now believe to be the truth. I have taken Special pains to cite every passage in the New Tes tament which refers to polity, and also to place indirectly in my readers' hands the means of resolving as many as possible Of those continually emerging practical Congregational questions, the just solution Of which may not instantly suggest itself to minds not specially accustomed to our fundamental principles and usual methods Of thought.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Comparative View of the Presbyterian, Congregational, and Independent, Forms of Church Government: Being an Attempt to Trace Out the Primitive Mode, From Scripture and Antiquity AN opinion has, of late years, begun to pre vail, that Christ instituted no one particular form of polity for his church on earth, but that he left it Open to expediency, to settle such a term, as shall best suit the particular govern ment, manners, and prejudices, of the coun try into which the gospel is introduced. Such was the opinion of the acute and impartial Campbell.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Congregationalism: And Memorials of the Churches, of Our Order in Suffolk More than forty years have elapsed since John Browne, of Wrentham, issued his truly great book on "The History of Congregationalism in Suffolk and Norfolk." During these years great and important changes have taken place in all our churches, and a modern edition of this work has been long overdue. As Mr. Browne's book owed its origin to the generosity of Mr.D. H.Goddard, the present work owes its origin to the generosity of Mr. H. Fairfax Harwood, of Tuddenham Hall, Ipswich. When Mr. Harwood suggested a re-issue of this history, and asked me to undertake it, it was with great reluctance and diffidence that I consented; I felt then, as I feel now, that others could have done the work much more efficiently than I could. At the same time, realising the importance and value of the work, I could not refuse; and so, conscious of many defects, I faced the task. I need hardly say that this book is largely an example of building upon another man's foundation. But for the devoted labours of John Browne this work had never seen the light. In perusing the original volume nothing has impressed me more than the immense labour and patient research devoted to it. In that work Mr. Browne has laid, not only the churches of Suffolk and Norfolk, but Congregationalism throughout the country under a vast debt of gratitude. In carrying out the purpose I had in my mind of bringing this work up to date, I found materials accumulating so rapidly that, if the volume was to be kept within reasonable limits, much of the original, not strictly relevant, would have to be omitted. Accordingly I have re-written the whole, omitting the Norfolk section, and that relating to the Baptist churches, together with some of the footnotes that seemed to me unnecessary.

Whatever be the figure used, the teaching is the same, that the Church of God, in all ages, rests upon one, immovable foundation, and that in this she is to rejoice. The history of the Church shows this g - and perhaps I can in no way lead you to spend the hour before us this evening more profitably, than by asking you to look at the Church of God; and in her history, read her design, her duty, and her destiny.
